I empower parents, foundations, clinics and hospitals, and therapists to help parents with chronic health conditions and their families become more resilient and build strong communication and coping skills.
Parents
In these one-to-one parenting coaching sessions, we develop personalized scripts, practical tools, and an action plan to help your family and your wider support network understand, adapt to, and cope with your condition.
We also work through exercises to help you process the complex emotions that can come with living and parenting with a lifelong health condition, including guilt, grief, anger, shame, anxiety, and fear.
Parents leave these sessions feeling more prepared and confident to help their family build strong communication and coping skills.
Foundations
I offer trainings, webinars, and customized materials for foundations and their networks — including patients, clinicians, and member organizations — on topics such as talking to children about a condition, preparing for unexpected hospitalizations and medical emergencies, managing co-parenting with a health condition, explaining heritability, and more.
Foundations can then, in turn, can provide resources to their members to help them feel more prepared, supported, and confident while navigating the realities of parenting with a health condition.
Clinics and hospitals
Clinicians are often pressed for time during appointments and may not have been trained on how to take a whole-family approach to treating their patients.
I work with doctors, nurses, respiratory, physical, and occupational therapists, and other health professionals to help them better understand how a patient’s condition affects their family.
Clinicians leave the training with simple scripts and tools they can pass on to patients and suggestions for how patients and their families can find further resources and support.
Therapists and mental health professionals
Patients with chronic health conditions and their families face distinct emotional and practical challenges.
I offer training for therapists on how to better support the families they work with who are navigating chronic health issues. Topics include caregiver burden and relief, improving family stability through action plans, processing medical trauma and frightening health events, and more.
Therapists leave with scripts and tools they can use in sessions with their patients.
Once you fill out this form, I will respond with information about pricing and what kind of training options could meet your needs.
